According to Gregory K. Liller, the CEO of Sierra Madre, "The drilling program at La Tigra continues to deliver strong results with some intercepts being wider than initially expected. These results continue to expand on the positive results to date at La Tigra."

This drilling program was designed based on the data Sierra Madre collected from surface mapping, sampling, and trenching, which has defined a 3.5-kilometer structural corridor with stacked northwest striking structures. These structures dip at 40 to 45 degrees, and holes one and two were drilled at negative 45 degrees, and hole three at negative 53 degrees. The width of the intersection is approximately over 90% of the intersected length.

A Breakout in Gold

On July 12, 2023, gold and silver had a major breakout as the dollar's value sank, according to technical analyst Clive Maund. Maund said of the trend, "The PM sector – and commodities generally – are embarking on a long and powerful upleg that is still in its earliest stages, and this being so you can basically put on a blindfold and throw darts at a list of PM stocks and pick winners although of course we will strive to do somewhat better than that."

Richard Mills of Ahead of the Herd noted that there are several factors driving the rise in gold values, including a weakening dollar and increased buying from central banks. According to Mills, central banks went cold on gold during the pandemic, but "after economic recovery in 2021-22, this behavior changed, with central banks in the aggregate buying more gold in the fourth quarter of 2022 than they had since the world went off the gold standard in 1971."

An Excellent Position

According to Technical Analyst Clive Maund, Sierra Madre's stocks looked good in the wake of the recent gold and silver breakout, and is at a good entry point for investors.

Sierra Madre closed the La Guitarra acquisition in 2023, a silver project with a developed underground and a 500-tonne-per-day mill. In the second half of 2023, Sierra Madre is also expecting the Phase 2 results from the Tepic project.
